New converts in New South Wales, Australia Ecclesiastical District have become full-fledged members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) upon receiving baptism at the Minchinbury Local Congregation house of worship on March 23, 2025.
In the preaching of God’s words, district supervising minister Brother Seth Gutierrez highlighted the significance of their being among God’s chosen people today, that is, for them to receive salvation on Judgment Day. Brother Gutierrez also reminded them to stay faithful in following all of God’s commandments, which the Church Administration continues teaching them.
Right after the Bible-based lesson, district overseer for Church officers Brother Carlos De Jesus II administered their baptism.
“I was drawn into the Church while seeking the truth about God and salvation,” narrated newly baptized Regine Marie Nochete of the Dean Park Congregation. “I thank the Lord God for His help. There is also the overwhelming support the congregation has for me. I promise to follow the biblical teachings.”
“I continue to share my faith with my loved ones and friends. I strive to guide them toward the truth that will lead them to salvation,” said Light of Salvation officer Luvy Macabulos who was instrumental in Nochete’s conversion into the true Church. “I invite them to attend Bible studies, INC Unity Games, among other ways. I hope and pray that they will be called too into the Church.”
The baptismal gathering was followed by a “Welcome, My Brethren” activity, during which the newly baptized members were treated to a warm reception. — With reports from Kriziel Manday of INC News Section
